A. Reasonable Goals

The key to lowering your score is to try to avoid too many putts in
general. That’s the goal, really.

There is a difference between goals & expectations. Goals are the
end game. Expectations are what you have about small steps toward
your goals. Often, your expectations won’t be met, so use baby steps
to move towards your goals.

The initial goal you should have is to use 36 putts or fewer on an 18
hole course. To get there, you must use two putts or less on every
hole.

This goal obviously becomes easier to achieve if you are
consistently getting the ball onto the green from the tee.

But, during those times where it lands 30 to 50 feet away from the
hole, you’ve got some work to do. It’s takes extreme focus to make
those long putts successful.

B. Make Every Putt Count

By setting a goal of 36 or less putts per game, you’ve taken a
positive step to improving your game.

When facing a long putt, you may get lazy & lose confidence in your
ability to make the shot. This may cause you to swing in a
halfhearted matter & you are destined to fail even before trying.

This happens to us all. Just keep going, avoid thinking like this, &
don’t give up faith!

Try again.

Reset.

And, make every putt count.

C. Over Confidence

Even if the shot appears to be easy, the same outcome may result if
you are too confident. You may have been successful in getting the
ball close to the hole, but now you feel overly confident & start
attacking the ball aggressively.

Instead of staying focused, your overconfidence & lack of
concentration may cause an easy 2′ putt to completely miss the hole.

The key is really to find a balance between B & C above.
Get into the zone. Know that you can sink it, but don’t taken it for
granted….
